1. A computer method, comprising:
extracting, by at least one processor, at least one floor joist from a building model;
analyzing, by at least one processor, a first set of data associated with the positioning of floor joist members;
creating, by at least one processor, a second set of data associated with coordinates of each of the floor joist members, wherein an assembly process of a floor joist is comprised of the floor joist members;
formulating, by at least one processor, the assembly process of the floor joist, wherein the assembly process is an organization of the floor joist members based on the first set of data and the second set of data;
creating, by at least one processor, a manipulated assembly process of the floor joist based on a set of limitations, wherein the set of limitations are based on a shipping vessel limitations;
manipulating, by at least one processor, the floor joist, wherein a manipulated floor joist assembly model is created based on the set of limitations of the shipping vessel; and
generating, by at least one processor, a graphical representation of the manipulated floor joist assembly and the floor joist, wherein the graphical representation includes a procedure for the manipulated assembly process and the assembly process.
